Saffordite 9-9.99 deals grams Opaque or banded/ Cintamani/ Energy Stone/wishing stone

Treasures from the desert! This listing is for 1 opaque or banded Cintamani Stone, weighing 9-9.99 grams, chosen by the seller. A very economical way to acquire a Saffordite of high quality and size.

The chosen Stone will be a Saffordite of the highest quality. I am able to offer these more reasonably when I don't have to photograph and list each excellent Cintamani individually. Please specify in notes to seller when making your order, your preference of opaque or banded. If no note is given I will simply choose a beautiful stone! Some of these stones are totally dark, with no light going through them at all, others have banding and others are dark with the light showing through partially.

I will do my very best to chose stones that will be cherished by the receiver. The shapes will deals vary, not all Saffordites are round or oval! Chipped stones will not be chosen. You will not find a higher quality Saffordite anywhere! I am very excited about these new stones that I have found. The outside surfaces are very dark black with wonderful wrinkles and dimples.

In the entire world, Saffordites are only found in the desert around Safford, Graham County, Arizona. Each of these stones, was found either by myself or my hubby and picked up from the desert floor. A stone of this significant size is always a joy to discover!

****What are Saffordites?****

There are differing opinions on the origin of these small black stones. Some believe they are ancient weathered obsidian, others believe they are tektites, formed from the impact of a celestial body with the earth. That impact vaporized both the terrestrial and extraterrestrial material, flinging it into the atmosphere where it then rained back to earth creating a glassy stone.

Saffordites exhibit all the metaphysical traits of other tektites. Metaphysically Saffordites are said to be the most powerful gemstones yet discovered, even more, powerful than Moldavites.

Hunting these simple black stones has become a loving obsession for myself and my family. The peace of the desert and beautiful sunsets, bring us out hunting evening after evening. Even an encounter with an angry rattlesnake, hasn't changed that. I just exhibit more caution as I do my Saffordite dance (the sun is at your back, walking sideways or forward looking in your shadow) around the desert hoping to spot the velvet blackness of another cherished stone.
